Salazmeyer leaves home

A couple more snaps of our trip to Abu Dhabi. : Top: Emirates Palace. Below: Sheikh Nahyan and Emirates Palace. Below that: Arabian cartoon characters on Sheikh Z Rd.Below that: our neighborhood in Al Qusais.

Stanley failed to mention that, apon arriving at the Emirates Palace gate, we were provided with a letter of invitation on heavy cardstock with a custom die-cut border which explained in no uncertain terms that this invitation gives us access ONLY to the art gallery, and that's it. For permission to make a reservation in one of the many fine restaurants, a phone number was provided. We actually drove by this place the first time and had to turn around and come back, because we thought it was the presidential palace and not a hotel.
